Bush Screwed America And We Demote Her?
I just don't get it.

Air Force strips Playboy poser of status By ELIZABETH WHITE, Associated Press Writer
25 minutes ago

SAN ANTONIO - An Air Force drill sergeant who posed nude for Playboy magazine has been removed from active duty, she and the Air Force said Wednesday. Michelle Manhart, who appeared in a six-page spread in Playboy's February issue, said she got word Friday that she was removed from "extended active duty" and was also told that she was demoted from staff sergeant to senior airman.

"I'm disappointed in our system," Manhart told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "They went too far with it."

Manhart said that she was reverted to her Air National Guard status and that she submitted a "resignation" to the Guard, which she said is pending. Manhart was a member of the Iowa Air National Guard before going on extended active duty.

1. Them's the rules in the military
And Bush isn't military.

Too bad it's so difficult to unseat Bush...but in a good year with a decent president, it really is a good thing it is difficult to "demote" POTUS. What sucks right now is our checks and balances are way oit of whack.

2. yes...I better get that issue and figure this mess out...
:evilgrin:

Looks like the Air Force is tougher on women for posing naked than they are for men who happen to rape female soldiers while they are in uniform. Hmmm... imagine that.

4. it's also more serious than say, a politician's son going awol in time of war
Might want to investigate something like that first, you know? I mean you wouldn't want an individual that scummy becoming president or anything.
